Inspired by a thread on rnf (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194914) I'm interested to hear of people's best finds they have made on an npc vendor?

Words of Detachment x 20 (or so) on a highkeep vendor, back when spell research wasn't a flooded market :)
They're meant to be tricky to find for necros to make their L24 pet spell.
Yeah, I don't vendor much :p

Found a Water Sprinkler of the Forgiven for 19pp just a couple hours ago, pretty decent soloing weapon for my level 16 cleric!

Does Larrikan Mask thread become more or less funny to Taken now that they are a raiding guild that needs recharges?

Sarnak Battlehammer
It's not an awesome weapon but quite good (no stats, just 30/40 ratio). I think it's certainly worth a lot more than 18p, which is for what vendors sell it. I'd have been a fool to pass it up at level 10. It served me well, until dual wield.

More. Because though Taken raids, no one is such a nerd and so deeply immersed in PixelQuet that they would threaten to send packets of death to someone for buying a damn Larrikan's Mask. That's a special variety of neckbeard, only available in TMO apparently.

Oh ok. Sure hope no one buys your puppet strings or assassinates the vendor. That would be terrible.

Lol. Puppet Strings =/= Larrikan's Mask. Even so... Threatening Packets of death over buying an item is hilarious. The fact that you even try to defend it being a reasonable reaction is a bit sad... Stay immersed I guess.

10/10 would read again just for this.
Larr Mask, Bladestopper, and several other items that were left on a vendor. Was happy to grab them before anyone else could. Returned to owner of course though.
couple different potions that I guess person didn't know they could be recharged only had 1 dose left on each but was a nice find. Ring of Shadows uncharged.

Can't even have a fun thread in server chat without the basement dwellers trying to derail it with their deranged trolling.
Sad.

Best thing I have found and really not even that great was a Tolan's Darkwood Helm. Bought it for about 368pp? and sold it for 500 to someone in EC, so little bit of profit.

Back when people still made cultural armor, I would port out to misty thicket, buy like 20-30 low-medium quality skins off the vendors and turn them into leather padding.

70 or so Low Quality Bear skins and 112 Medium Quality Bear skins... Let's just say I made A LOT of PADDING!
Sold it all fairly quickly to a smith. And that is how I got my Froglok Bonecasters Robe @ lvl 29 (first character, started in April). Nothing impressive but sure was to me.

I used to craft dark elf cultural, I can't remember the guy's name but I had a go-to tailor for leather padding - he did well out of me... and in turn we both did well out of whoever was buying ;)

I just remembered something...
Sometimes I'll find a bunch of soups or sandwiches that somebody took the time to bake on a vendor, and while I admit I will often jump at the opportunity to save my wrist some clicks by buying up and reselling the stuff, it's a real shame that someone just pawned off their baked goods like that, like an unwanted baby left in front of an orphanage. :`(

Well I can't recall founding something of significant value - apart from low level gear, pelts and spider silks, but a friend of mine on LIVE have bought Centy Long Sword of a vendor in StoneBrunt for 15plat (thats when they were sold for 5-7k) ;)
P.S. Ahh Centy Long Sword my MOST favorite graphics in the whole game ;)

Mm that's a good one.
DMF was such a shitty camp in Chardok 2.0. Only the mob to Korucust's right dropped it and he dropped it like 10% of the time and was a rare spawn. Horrible camp. Just horrible.

I have no clue how it happened to be there. Was a expensive as hell mistake I guess for some poor player for sure. lol. :eek::eek:

Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap in NFP, checked back a few hours later and it was still there so I bought it. Root net in plane of sky. I found lots of valuable tradeskill materials on live, not much here.
I hear Froovy found lots of Blue Diamonds on vendors.

I'm pretty sure if you are a Halfling and you find a Raider cap on a vendor anywhere but Rivervale it is your duty as a citizen to reclaim it.
I found a Green Jade Broadsword for like 100p or something here on P99 Red. Back in the day on live I found a good robe for pennies. I can't recall which one though...I wan't to say SMR but I'm not entirely sure.

My deli had spiral sliced honey glazed ham marked at .29 per lb. I bought 25 - 30 whole hams that day. I returned the next day and they were 2.99 per lb. Yum.
